[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 896893, member: 22069"] You have me at a disadvantage here, where the limits of my knowledge of bullet design are concerned. What I can tell you is that 300 and 320g .375 bullets with .750 and .830 g1 bc's already exist. They are lathe turned monolithic copper bullets with sd's of .305 and .325 respectively. My understanding is that, in theoretical tems, a monometal copper bullet will always have a lower bc than a comparable lead core bullet because the monometal bullet is less dense. That is my basis for believing that a 300ish grain .375 bullet should be capable of achieving the stated bc's. With a proper tip and the right ogive, I would think at least mid-.7's would be possible given that has already been done with copper monometal bullets. Of course, there is a lot I don't know about bullet design, so it is entirely possible that I am all wet when it comes to that assumption. [/QUOTE]
